Ahaan Panday, nephew of Chunky Panday and cousin of Ananya Panday, has recently given his stamp of approval to a unique instrumental rendition of the song "Saiyaara," from the movie of the same name which marks Panday's Bollywood debut alongside Aneet Padda. The song, originally composed by Tanishk Bagchi, Faheem Abdullah, and Arslan Nizami, with lyrics penned by Irshad Kamil and sung by Faheem Abdullah, has found a new life in a flute-beatboxing cover.
Panday, who stars as Krish Kapoor in "Saiyaara," a "sad-bad biker boy" and musician in the film, seems to be enjoying the various renditions of the film's title track that have emerged since the movie's release. The actor is said to be impressive in his debut, particularly during moments when his character interacts with Aneet's.
The flute-beatboxing version gaining traction blends the melody of the flute with beatboxing. This innovative take on the song has been capturing the attention of music enthusiasts and fans of the film alike. While details about which specific artist created the version that Ahaan Panday endorsed are scarce, several flute covers and instrumental versions of "Saiyaara" have surfaced on platforms like YouTube.
"Saiyaara," directed by Mohit Suri, is a romantic drama that explores the themes of young love and longing. The film follows Krish (Ahaan Panday) and Vaani (Aneet Padda), a timid poet, as they navigate a tumultuous relationship. Vaani meets Krish over a song, and he converts her heartfelt words into hit songs, and together he finds both success and love. The film's music, praised for its emotional resonance, is considered one of its strongest elements.
The film has been described as a compilation of Mohit Suri's greatest hits, bearing the director’s authentic voice. While some critics have pointed out familiar themes and script loopholes, the chemistry between the lead actors and the music have been noted as standout qualities. Ahaan's performance has been described as more evocative in sombre moments, while Aneet "effortlessly steps into the mold of the demure Suri heroine".
The original "Saiyaara" soundtrack features contributions from multiple artists, including Sachet-Parampara, Rishabh Kant, Mithoon, and Vishal Mishra, in addition to the primary composers. This collaborative effort has resulted in a rich and diverse musical landscape that complements the film's emotional narrative.
The emergence of covers and remixes, like the flute-beatboxing version, indicates the song's popularity and its resonance with audiences. Ahaan Panday's appreciation for this unique interpretation further highlights the song's appeal and its ability to inspire creativity across different musical genres.
